I’m a Software Engineer / AI Engineer with 3 years experience in building scalable full-stack applications, cloud-native systems, and AI-powered workflows. My background includes backend engineering, GenAI applications, workflow automation, CI/CD, and end-to-end product development using modern technologies across web, cloud, and AI stacks.

I enjoy building practical, high-impact products and have worked across startup-style environments where I’ve had strong ownership over architecture, deployment, and feature delivery.

Currently seeking full-time software engineering opportunities across AI/GenAI, backend,DevOps and full-stack development. Open to remote opportunities and relocation.

Available for freelance/contract work. I take AI-built apps (Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor) from "works on my machine" to live and paid — build/deploy errors, Supabase/auth, Stripe, shipping to Netlify/Vercel. Happy to work fixed-price on a defined scope. Built and run a live web app solo.

Senior Platform Engineer / Technical Lead with 5+ years in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, and 17+ years overall in software engineering.

My strongest areas are Kubernetes-based infrastructure, Terraform/IaC, CI/CD, observability, production reliability, and platform security. Recently led a migration of multiple services from VM-based infrastructure to Kubernetes, built a Fluent Bit logging pipeline processing around 12 MB/s, and drove Distroless image adoption, reducing image size by about 70% and significantly lowering critical CVEs.

Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA). Looking for Senior/Staff Platform Engineer, SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Infrastructure roles where I can work on reliable infrastructure, internal developer platforms, automation, and observability.

Staff systems architect, 30 years shipping production. I architect with AI agents as the build substrate, not autocomplete — running parallel agents per subsystem, coordinating through a shared memory layer I built.

Currently focused on AI infrastructure: memory2thought (patent-pending cross-LLM persistent memory across Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini/Grok, live at memory2thought.com) and thought2speech (patent-pending atypical speech recognition for Down syndrome speakers).

Recent work includes a municipal civic engagement platform shipped solo in 12 weeks (cgprojecttracker.com), a self-healing distributed fleet management system (DFF) for educational gaming installations, and Visual DNA — a privacy-preserving identity system for K-12 learners.

Looking for senior architect or AI infrastructure work where I can own end-to-end delivery: applied AI products, multi-agent systems, MCP-based architectures, or anything where deep systems thinking compounds across the stack. Open to fractional CTO, advisor, or principal engineer roles.

I build practical business automations for founders and service businesses: lead intake routing, follow-up workflows, CRM cleanup, reporting summaries, admin checklists, and documented handoffs.

Best fit is a small, annoying operations bottleneck where a fast workflow can save time or recover missed revenue. I can do a fixed $500 paid pilot for one scoped 24 hour workflow sprint, with Stripe before work starts, then expand if it produces value.
